Indigo. Blues. There is a poetry in this palette that loyalists will vouch for. I know of people who wear only this colour, Whose homes are a study in blues. I have seen friends try and buy something else and give up and buy one more blue because nothing else is as good. Cooling, soothing classy. I have been dying to do blues and always stopped myself because it was so done. I finally gave in and here is the Artnlight Indigo Blue Collection. Ready to shop on the Art&Light online shop.

Wishing all of you a cool, calm, peaceful and happy 2016.

These past 12 days - ever since I announced the Mug festival has been a flurry of activity at the Artnlight Studio - parcels have been packed steadily and have been shipped across to people from across India. What touched me the most is that this time round there were more people gifting it than people buying it for themselves and as a trend I saw that while people bought a mug or 2 for themselves - they bought more for people who live far away from them. These messages are beautiful and that people felt it would brighten someones day or make a difference to them - made my day. So I'm extending the festival and give-away deadline + the FREE shipping for 3 more days - till Monday - September 2nd night.

New deadline? 2nd September 2014.

I have been so excited about throwing this open :) Guys! Welcome to the "Mug Festival" :) - I love that it has a funny ring to it - because funny is happy & that is exactly what this festival is - its just happy time to pick up a happy mug with a message on it. I have been wanting to do this for so long. So I just designed a bunch of mugs with messages on it. Messages that are close to my heart - messages that would make me happy if I saw it around or if I owned it. Messages that are a reminder or a gentle nudge towards how we want to create our day. Some of these may resonate with some of you more than others & that is the point - there is one for everyone. And to make it a little more fun - the shipping is FREE :) on the entire Mugs section. So just go to artnlight.in & choose your mug & order it. And when I was designing these my mind immediately went to a few of my friends & I thought how perfect a particular message might be for a certain friend & so yes gift your friends with a message mug - the one that you feel is made for them.

The festival is happening at the artnlight online store - right here.

 

Imagine beginning your mornings with "Choose happiness" in your head & heart. What a different day you might have. Imagine gifting this to a particular friend who you know needs just this. You can pick yours here

 This is a mug right after my own heart. When i saw this quote on Pinterest (sorry no credits - because I don't know who has written it) I was just grinning ear to ear. This one was MADE FOR ME :) Also whats interesting is that its not an overtly feminine design - so yeah! gift it to your husband/boyfriend/friend  - who needs that nudge to book those tickets (yes, I am evil :D) Here's where to get them. 

 This is the print I designed for the Nisha Sainani Spring Summer collection & thats now made famous with celebrities and film stars wearing it - these are Limited Edition Mugs.

 Another version of the above design - this mug has the pink & blue shield on either side of the mug. Limited Edition. Buy yours here

This one is a simple Rose print - in shades of well - rose :) its all pretty english and dedicated to all the lovers of pink - men & women - you know right away if this one is yours & if it is - get it here.

If that was English and pink this is very Indian and Indigo.

 

 This one is close to my heart as well. I feel its difficult not to just naturally compare yourself to someone whose work you admire, and yet there is place for everyone and the whole point is that what one person can make or do in a particular way- no one else can. So getting better than yourself is really where its at.

 This one is just a simple, but powerful word. "Abundance". It feels like a blessing almost. I would love to have this as a reminder each day for all the abundance that anyway fills our life, for the abundance of friends, laughter, love we are blessed with and yes, for the abundance of everything that we wish for.

Deadline? 26th August 2014.

I would love to hear what you feel about this series. Do drop in a comment - Which mug do you like? Why? 

This is a series I really enjoyed designing, styling and shooting. I love vintage & this whole grey + yellow is not something I thought of as a vintage colour scheme, infact I have seen the Grey + yellow used in really edgy contexts and so giving this a vintage feel was fun. I had designed the boxes much later than the trays and I was wondering how will I extend this French typography into a Box - my inspiration was packaging and label design and I looked in my archives to find this stash of vintage labels which went very well with the botanical illustration & the typography I used on the trays. I'm really happy with the way these boxes have turned out & you must indulge me in the 100 pictures that I have shot of this series.
